The mother of an 18-year-old Mitchells Plain boy, who was allegedly gang raped, says the suspects also threatened to kill her child during the incident, and drew penises and the number 28 on his body.
The teen was dragged out of the road by four men and taken to a house, where he was blindfolded, a glass bottle stuck up his behind and raped.
One of the suspects made a video of the incident, the teen told cops.
Suspects Rameez Martin, Ashley Titus, Yasien Sedick and Joshua Booysen appeared briefly at the Mitchells Plain Magistrates’ Court yesterday where their bail application was postponed yet again.

The men are charged with kidnapping, rape and assault with the intention to do grievous bodily harm.
“They burnt papers between his toes and threatened him at knifepoint and gunpoint and beat him up if he did not answer questions when and how they wanted him to.
“They told him they would kill him. He said he was afraid,” the traumatised mother said.
She said the doctor who examined her son cried when she saw the extent of his injuries.

“They drew on him with a pen, the number 28 and penises on his back and one thigh. One of their names were also signed next to the penises,” she said.
She says her son is severely traumatised, still has trouble walking and sitting and he hardly speaks.
The boy was able to identify his attackers and, along with his mother, took police to their respective houses.
The suspects’ bail hearing is on 13 August.
